The big dog Simon is a gift, though watching him age (he's 11) is tough. The little one Tweety is naughty and mean spirited toward the big dog, but somehow still worms her way into our hearts.

It’s been a month since Republicans sent health premiums skyrocketing. Now, over 1 million Americans have been priced out of their coverage & millions more are struggling to stay insured.
Senate Republicans could end this today by passing the bipartisan House-passed bill.

The combo of the storm and inflation means shelf after shelf at local stores is bare and there are few sales or deals — inventory seems incredibly tight and expensive. Especially noticing with meat, fruit, coffee
Donald Trump promised to make life more affordable for working families across the nation.
A year into office, I think we can all see how that's worked out.

The FCC cannot fine AT&T for illegally selling your location data because an Article III judge wasn't involved. BUT ICE can break down your door and trash your house without consulting one of those judges. And it has been doing that to my neighbors.
